My dd is 14 months and I've been waiting and waiting for this big rush of love that everyone goes on about - and its not coming. I'm fond of her, and I put on a big front as I don't want her to feel bad any in way, but to be honest I don't feel a particularly close connection. I was delighted to go back to work, and delighted to be full time. Wish I was a traditional dad - that seems to be my parenting style! Is this mild post natal depression, or do I just accept I'm not a great mother? or not cut out for motherhood?
